We shared our water footprint challenges at the Water Positive Day

On June 17, the Water Positive Day was held at the School of Forestry Engineering of the Polytechnic University of Madrid, an event organized by the Water Positive Think Tank.

The event brought together representatives from institutions and the water sector, including MITERD, EPSAR, Canal de Isabel II, the General Directorate for Water of Asturias, the UN Global Compact, Forética, AEDyR, ALADYR, EDS and Daquas, among other organizations.

A platform for dialogue towards more regenerative water management

The third edition of the event was structured as a forum for dialogue and collaboration between public authorities, companies, and experts, with the aim of advancing towards a Water Positive model that goes beyond sustainability to promote a net positive impact on water resources.

The event combined different formats: keynote speeches and presentations focused on the strategic role of water in the sustainable transition; panel discussions addressing challenges and solutions from institutional, industrial, and technological perspectives; and case studies and business experiences aimed at sharing best practices.

During the morning, the focus was on institutional and strategic topics, while the second part of the event centered on innovation and action, highlighting concrete solutions and applied experiences.

In this context, Patricia Terrero, as a member of the Water Positive Think Tank, delivered opening remarks alongside a colleague, emphasizing the need for a shift in approach—from minimizing impacts to generating value, resilience, and a positive and lasting impact in the water sector.

Sacyr’s participation

In the industrial-focused session, several companies shared their strategies for improving water efficiency. Participants included Amazon Web Services, Suntory, Holcim, Heineken, González Byass, PepsiCo, AstraZeneca, Mahou, and Schneider Electric, alongside water sector specialists such as Sacyr, Acideka, H2O Innovation, Ecolab, Amiad, Captoplastic, and Energy Recovery.

Representing Sacyr, Encarna Mateos presented the company’s approach to water footprint management and its sustainability targets. In addition, Domingo Zarzo, founding member of the Water Positive Think Tank, delivered the closing remarks, bringing the event to a close and reinforcing the sector’s commitment to more efficient, collaborative, and regenerative water management.
